Beer primary school students get a Bollywood surprise on the beach

Pupils at Beer CofE Primary School had a Bollywood surprise when they were treated to an unexpected visit to the beach to witness the filming of new blockbuster Housefull 5.

The film's executive producer arranged for the choreographer to teach the children some of the dance moves being featured in the movie.

Headteacher Mrs Wilson-White said: “The children in Reception were very interested in how some of the actors had travelled. They were told that some of the actors lived in India and were travelling by plane to get home later that evening or following morning. The choreographer told us that he was travelling back to London.”

The children enjoyed the music and dancing and being taught by a real choreographer. Back at school the pupils listened to similar music and practiced their newfound Bollywood dance moves.

“There was a real buzz amongst the children as they could even hear the music whilst being outside on the playground,” Mrs Wilson-White added.

“When the children returned to school, we talked about where Bollywood originated, its huge popularity, and of course we all had another go at copying some Bollywood dance moves.”

The school hopes that the day's events will inspire the children to learn more about Bollywood and the filmmaking process.

“It is a memory that we hope will stay with the children and inspire them to find out more about Bollywood and how films are made.”
